Description

Demeyere’s superior technical approach to producing the most advanced clad cookware available has made them a cult favorite with our staff and customers for years. The unmatched quality, sleek design, and highly engineered and tested construction ensure each and every piece of Demeyere cookware is crafted to perform beautifully and last a lifetime.

Our exclusive new Industry5 cookware collection is the culmination of a two-year collaboration between Demeyere and Sur La Table to produce the most innovative clad-metal cookware on the market. Designed to exceed the exacting standards of both professional and home cooks, Industry5 cookware boasts a five-ply 3mm-thick aluminum and aluminum-alloy core for fast and even heat distribution. The interior is nonreactive 18/10 stainless steel for easy cleanup, and the gleaming 18/10 stainless steel exterior is magnetic, which ensures exceptional performance on any heat source—including induction.

Each pan also features a pouring rim to prevent spills. The superior base stability of Industry5 cookware guarantees the bottom of the pan remains almost perfectly flat when heated, even to higher temperatures. Oils and other liquids will evenly coat the bottom of the pan and never pool on the sides for even cooking results time after time.

Each piece of cookware features Demeyere’s proprietary Silvinox finish—a unique system of electrochemical surface treatments that removes iron and impurities from the surface, the main causes of discoloration over time. The stainless steel exterior remains silvery white, even after many years of use. It also resists discoloration from fingerprints and heat, even when subjected to temperatures over 500°F.

The oversized stay-cool cast stainless steel handles are shot-blasted to ensure a secure grip, and make transporting a hot pan to and from the oven or stovetop easy even while wearing oven mitts. Each handle is welded directly to the pan, making it significantly more durable and hygienic than a traditional riveted handle. Food, grease and dirt will never accumulate inside the pan, so cleanup is a breeze.

Suitable for use on all cooktops, in the oven up to 600°F, and under the broiler. Dishwasher safe (hand wash recommended). Made in Belgium.

DURABLE CLAD-METAL CONSTRUCTION All Industry5 cookware features a 5-ply, 3mm-thick aluminum and aluminum alloy core for fast and even heat distribution, a nonreactive 18/10 stainless steel interior for easy cleanup, and a gleaming 18/10 stainless steel exterior with magnetic properties for exceptional performance on any heat source, including induction.

SUPERIOR BASE STABILITYEach piece of Industry5 cookware has a perfectly flat base that stays perfectly flat when heated, even under high temperatures. This is a marked advantage over other cookware that tends to have a more pronounced base expansion as it heats, which causes liquids to pool around the edge. In our Industry5 pan, oil evenly coats the entire surface for great results time after time.

SILVINOX FINISHDemeyere’s proprietary Silvinox finish is a unique system of electrochemical surface treatments that removes iron and impurities, the main causes of discoloration over time, from the pan surfaces. Thanks to the innovative Silvinox treatment, the stainless steel exterior remains silvery white even after many years of use. It also resists discoloration, even under temperatures over 500°F, and is more resistant to fingerprints.

WELDED STAY-COOL HANDLES Large, shot-blasted 18/10 stainless steel handles are welded directly to each pan, not attached with screws or rivets. Industry5’s stay-cool, welded handles are more durable and more hygienic, preventing food and grease from accumulating. The shot-blasted stainless steel construction provides a firm, comfortable grip even while wearing oven mitts. The Silvinox finish also provides superior scratch-resistance over time.

MADE IN BELGIUM SINCE 1908For over 100 years, family-owned Demeyere has made cookware that is highly engineered, technically innovative and beautifully designed.

Customer Reviews

I bought this 11"" Demeyere Industry5 skillet after much reading and research. I liked the clean look and its lack of rivets holding the handle to the pan. I took the time to watch the video about cooking without fat, by using the water test and waiting until the water dances in little balls after heating for several minutes. On an electric coil stove marked 0, 2, 4, 6 and ""High."" I started on number 6 and when the water danced into little balls, rather than hissing and evaporating, I turned the heat down to number 4. Next, I placed two very big slices of catfish in the skillet. Naturally, at first it stuck, but after about five minutes it self released, just like in the YouTube videos I'd seen.

After flipping and cooking the other side of the fish, I removed the fish and added a tablespoon of butter and a little white wine, using a wooden spoon to mix the butter, wine and fish bits that remained. It made a really tasty sauce.

I let the skillet cool and it cleaned up with no problems, looking shiny new after use. I highly recommend this skillet. It looks good hanging on the pot rack and works perfectly. I think it will last a long time as long as it's not overheated

I am currently converting from hard anodized aluminum to stainless. Well, you can't just call the Demeyere Industry 5 stainless. I bought this cookware for the engineering as much as anything else. The great balance, optimal shape, extraordinary conductivity, and superior handles was all lagniappe; they all come together to make an incredible frypan. I am gradually building a complete set of the pots I use most frequently. Also, I highly recommend you watch the videos, I did and they are great

I bought a 9.5"" skillet last night at SLT and have used it 3 times since.

I pan fried a steak, made bananas foster, and this morning made the most delicious omelet to ever come out of my kitchen.

It heats evenly on my cheap gas stove, and I found no need to bring the heat above medium to sear my steak last night.

This thing is a breeze to clean, this morning I used about 1.5tsp of EVOO to grease the pan for my omelet (started on medium, then moved to low heat), and with a quick shake it slid right out of the pan and onto my plate. After that, all it took to clean was a quick wipe with a sponge and it looks as good as new.

Highly recommended, I will be buying a whole set of this cookware. If you are having problems with food sticking or burning, you need to adjust your cooking style to fit these pans. They're superb

I have researched top rated cookware for about 3 years before choosing the Demeyer Industry 5. My husband gave this fry pan to me as a Christmas surprise!

I have learned, how to use this cookware, you must read the directions for best results! This is the nicest pan I have owned to date. I had over 25 different pan sizes in the original Calphalon cookware. I used it for 21 years and was so happy to sell it on ebay and start fresh.

After watching the videos, I have learned to use this pan. I've had wonderful results from cooking protein with no oil to making scrambled eggs with absolute perfection and no messy clean up.

I am looking forward to the purchase of the entire set very soon.

I highly recommend the Demeyer Industry 5 Cookware!If you are or want to be an at home chef, and view cooking as an art as well as a science...this pan is for you.If you just want to cook super, maybe try another brand.

I bought the 9.5 skillet on sale. It's my 2nd demeyere piece. The skillet works as well as expected. The clean up is a breeze and I followed the proper pre heating instructions to a t. I'm saving up for the 12.5 skillet because this piece and the 4qt saute pan are just excellent additions to my cooking arsenal. Can't rave about these enough!

I would say this is the best pan I've ever owned and definitely worth the money. The outside has stayed that beautiful silver color, it lays flat and has not warped, the handle is awesome and does not show prints, basically is everything the manufacturers say it is. I wish the inside of the pan didn't show discolorations but maybe that's asking too much for something constantly heated, or maybe I didn't read the instructions well enough and did something to cause it??? Regardless, loving this pan!

I bought this pan to start searching for what my investment cookware would be. I purchased this pan to see how I liked the overall brand and the feel of the pan. I fell line over with the skillet! It was truly amazing and when used properly, the pan exceeds the expectations. Hand is cool to the touch on the stove and truly excels. LOVED it so much... I bought the 10-pc set!

Bought the 9.5 inch for sloppy joes, turkey meat and other items and nothing has gotten stuck yet. I did read the instructions and it is very important to do that so you know not to just throw meat in the pan or it will stick. Just heat it up and then when ready turn heat down and throw the stuff in. I am by no means a chef or a master cook but I did do this step and have had no issues.

I bought the 10-piece set about five years ago and I've been expanding the collection ever since. It works great on stovetops, gas and electric. Bartender's Friend keeps the pots and pans looking like new! Just don't use it on the lids.

Great skillet! Handle stayed cool the entire time and the way it conducts heat all the way up the sides is amazing! I was making fideos and had to toast my pasta. Pasta along fees roasted just as well as pasta on the bottom. Well constructed skillet, love it!

This is my third skillet and I still don't seem to have enough. I love these pans. They are heavy and very easy to take care of. If something gets where it seems that it will not come clean, just soak in dawn and warm water for a time and you will be surprised. I think they are beautiful and view them like my kitchenAid - something to pass on to my kids.

This pan is so much better than my Le Creuset non-stick. It is very lightweight for its size and I love that it does not have any welding/fasteners on the inside of the pan, so it is easy to clean up. I find that things don't stick as much as with non-stick pans! I look forward to using this for many years to come.

The demeyere skillets are amazing. I purchased the five ply for my adult kids and my nephew. I own and found the Atlantis line to be the best I've ever tried (also own AC copper core). They're heavy, stable, don't warp, heat up quickly, no hot spots, browns/sears amazingly, and clean up is a snap.

It is so beautiful that it pains me to say I am going to return it. No matter what I do the pan keeps burning and I've been cooking over a really low heat. I can't even fry an egg properly. This really seriously makes me sad because I have researched pans for a year and a half before buying this one. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I have Demeyere skillets and sauce pans and love them all. Returned the 8" skillet because it won't stay flat on my gas stove. It sits on the countertop fine, but something about the spacing of my cooking surface, or the bottom of the pan, or the handle weight... dunno, but it tips over toward its handle on my stove so it doesn't suit my needs. Was sad to take it back.

I need to find another 8" skillet, but haven't found one yet that I like as well.

I just installed an induction cooktop and am having to replace my 45 year old cookware. I watched the videos and looked at the cookware in your store and liked the feel of the handle, the fact the handle doesn't get hot, along with the weight of the pan; much lighter than all-clad cookware I have looked at. I chose the 8" because there are only 2 in our household.

I just switched to an Induction range. I've tested a number of other brands and far-away prefer Demeyere. EXCELLENT performance. Well designed with perfect transition from the flat bottom to the side walls. Perfect for flipping foods easily. No rivets intruding into the work space. Much easier cleaning.

The Atlantis skillet is a 7 layer with copper/aluminum with just 2 sizes. Does that go up the sides or is this just on the bottom? The proline is 7 layers but it only has aluminum but it states it goes up the sides. And the Industry5 has only 5 layers. Is there a significant performance difference between the 3? Also, Williams-Sonoma has a Demeyere plus so is that the same as Industry5?

BEST ANSWER:Unlike any other Demeyere line, the composition of Atlantis cookware varies by vessel. Straight sided pieces--like sauce pans & sauté pans--have an 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface, but that is the only layer that goes up the sides. The cooking surface has the same 18/10 stainless steel surface, but it also has two layers of silver with a layer of copper sandwiched between & three proprietary layers called "TriplInduc", which make it induction compatible. Conical shaped pieces--like sauciers--have seven layers that go all the way up the sides. The top layer is 18/10 stainless steel, followed by three layers of aluminum & three layers of TriplInduc. Because frying pans need to have optimal heat retention, they have the same seven layers as conical pans, reaching all the way up the sides, but the they have more aluminum in them.Proline & Atlantis skillets are actually one in the same, so the product description on the Atlantis page will be changed, while the Proline description is correct.Industry5 has an 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface, three layers of aluminum & an 18/0 bottom layer, but no TriplInduc. Therefore, Atlantis/Proline will heat up a little faster & retain heat a little longer than Industry5, but you wouldn't notice a major performance difference in the two unless you have an induction cooktop, as Atlantis/Proline is up to 40% more induction compatible. Industry5 does seem very similar to the Demeyere 5-Plus that Williams Sonoma carries, but since I called Williams Sonoma & was told "any information that isn't already on the website is confidential & kept by the corporate office," I'm afraid I can't give a comprehensive comparison on the two.

Thank you for clarifying the Atlantis vs Proline mystery. I did see that the Industry5 series has a more polished handle on your site whereas the handle on the Demeyere 5 plus is satin. Thanks for all your efforts at clarifying a lot of the information.

My pleasure.Although, to further clarify, the handles on the Industry5 are not polished. Quite the opposite, in fact. They are considered "scratch resistant" because the rough, grainy texture of the handles makes it highly unlikely that scratches or scuffs will show. Here's a great video that gives you a close up look at the handles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBFSTPKY1Bo

Does the 12"" skillet come with a lid, and if not is there one available for purchase

It would be great if you would go and evaluate the fit of the 12" skillet with the 3 quart sauté pan's lid and let us know. We may feel that you were really interested in the answer too! Thanks in advance for your customer service approach to our questions before we buy from you.

What’s the depth/height (bottom to rim) of the 12 inch skillet? Thanks.

BEST ANSWER:I measured mine and it is 2 inches. I love this skillet. I can fry 6 thin sliced cutlets at the same time. If anything sticks or burns I soak it while we are eating and everything comes off easily with hand washing. I don't put it in the dishwasher. Great purchase!

Yes. In fact, they are the best induction pans possibly known to man. I have many pans from many different brands and these pans in particular heat up the quickest, are the most responsive to temperature reduction, and heat the most evenly of the lot. Expensive, but worth it. Highly recommend for induction. If you don't already have, get a can of Barkeepers Friend and a stainless steal chain mail "rag" to keep these pans shiny and spot-free on their cooking surface (The former to handle spots and the latter to scrub off any baked-on crud). Hope that helps.

BEST ANSWER:The proline is 7 ply, the Industry 5 is 5 ply. More layers (up to a certain point) means better, more even heat. The proline will blow you away with its performance, it's like nothing I've ever used before. I would say it's my third choice in skillets. First proline, second AC copper core, then very close behind is the industry 5.

BEST ANSWER:Demeyere cookware is made of 5 layers of metal while the SLT line is only made of 3. Demeyere is going to have better heat retention & conductivity. Demeyere pieces also have welded handles rather than riveted.
